Bold tech & web commentary

Digg API - Great One Way Access

Digg released a proper REST API today; read their documentation here, via Mashable.

Functionality includes:

Listing Stories (by any number of date, categorization, and popularity criteria)
Listing Events (the “diggs” that have hit a story)
Listing Users (by any number of criteria)
Listing Digg Categories

Of note: The API is one-way - is lets you get info out, but not in. There’s no way to programatically Digg or submit stories, comment, add remove friends, etc. That’s definitely a good thing - two-way access would have been a spammer’s/gamer’s dream.

EDIT: here’s the link to the original digg post, btw.
